Information about St. Martin's Press

St. Martin's Press is a book publisher headquartered in the iconic Flatiron Building in New York City. Currently, St. Martin's Press is one of the United States' largest publishers, bringing to the public some 700 titles a year under eight imprints, which include St. Martin's Press (mainstream and bestseller books), St. Martin's Griffin (mainstream paperback books, including science fiction and romance), St. Martin's Minotaur (mystery, suspense, and thrillers), Picador (specialty books), Thomas Dunne Books (suspense and mainstream), and Truman Talley Books (business and speciality books).

Macmillan Publishers of Great Britain founded St. Martin's in 1952 and subsequently sold it to Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC, a group of publishing companies held by Verlagsgruppe George von Holtzbrinck, a family-owned publishing concern based in Stuttgart, Germany, which still owns St. Martin's as well as other U.S. publishers, including Farrar, Straus and Giroux (primarily a publisher of literary fiction), Holt Publishers (literary non-fiction), and Tor-Forge Books (science fiction, fantasy, and thrillers).

Saluted for the breadth of their list, St. Martin's publishes such authors as Dan Brown, Ken Bruen, Augusten Burroughs, Stephen J. Cannell, Jackie Collins, Jennifer Crusie, Janet Evanovich, Julian Fellowes, Joseph Finder, Frederick Forsyth, Joan Hess, Simon Kernick, Robert Ludlum, Gayle Lynds, Michael Palmer, Robin Pilcher, Wilbur Smith, the New York Times crossword puzzle books, James Herriot, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Patrick Quinlan, Brigitte Gabriel, Darryl Wimberley, and others.

Also, in 1984, St. Martin's Press was the first Major Trade Book Publisher ever to publish its own Hardcover Books by its own in-house Mass Market Paperback Company. St. Martin's Mass Market Paperback Co., Inc. was founded by current President and Publisher Sally Richardson in 1984, under the stewardship of then-President Thomas McCormack (with the assistance of Entertainment Consultant Maura E. Lynch).
